Bonjour Rob,

Le 17 avr. 08 à 14:38, Beynon, Rob a écrit :
Sometimes when writing code, I write things like
Repeat for each line protein in allProteins
Repeat for each char aminoAcid in protein
Etc etc

I'd really like this to look like this, defining a new function 'synonym'

make protein a synonym of line
make aminoAcid a synonym of char

Repeat for each protein in allProteins
Repeat for each aminoAcid in protein

Etc etc

Does the extensibility/flexibility make code easier or harder to read/use?

Not mad at all :-)
More, it's 'perfect' English like xTalk, surely more understandable.
When you use tLine you think as an 'almost abstract' programmer; using tProtein you rely on a biological process you want to set.

Just have a look at http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/ scriptstyle.html to mix names that make sense and some good habits listed by Richard that will enforce understandability :-)

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
